Margot Robbie Is Taking A Break From Acting
Talking to Deadline, the actress revealed that she plans to disappear for a while following the success of her film ‘Barbie’.
She said, “Everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now” when asked about her acting projects. Robbie talked about the production projects she has but revealed that she has no intentions of returning to the screen anytime soon.
She then added, “I also think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while. Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, “Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We’re over it.” I don’t know what I’ll do next, but I hope it’s a little while away.”
Fans on X reacted to her decision to take a break.
Margot Robbie feeling like she has to take a break from making films because "people may be tired of her" after one hit movie, while some men are out there putting out mediocre movie after mediocre movie without ever taking a break is exactly what is wrong with this world
